    To all those who read this post, greetings.

    My name is Kenitoh, long time Pokémon fan and part time fanfic writer.

    Started with the series back when it first came out in 1998 (damn I feel old now) and when others fell away from the franchise, I stayed with it because I love it so much. Pokémon has guided through some very difficult moments in life. While I had a relatively stable family life (no divorce or anything like that) my school life was absolutely wretched. Bullies, awful teachers, zero support of any description and the fact I was treated like an outsider because of an (at the time) undiagnosed learning difficulty, it made me just want it all to end. The only thing I had was my video games and Pokémon. It kept me going when times were tough and helped me become a better person through all the series has taught me, through the games, the movies and the anime.

    Now that I am here at Lake Valor, I hope to make some friends, write some stories and talk about these games I hold so dearly.

    Thank you for reading
    Kenitoh

    Welcome to Lake Valor.

    That sucks on the fact school was terrible. Sorry you had to experience it firsthand.

    All negativity aside, you couldn't have come to a more positive place than this website! Hope to see you around. If you have any questions or just want to chat, shoot me a message. I'll be more than happy to listen and talk.

    Greetings from space!

    Please, make yourself at home here. We welcome anyone that doesn't track mud inside the house, because that's very frustrating to have to clean up. Also, don't steal any cheese out of the fridge. It's not that the cheese belongs to anybody - it's actually just a trap waiting to catch the unsuspecting.

    Now then, enjoy yourself. If you need your help finding away around, always feel free to ask.

    Hello fellow UK Citizen, glad to see you. Glad to be here.

    I might just take you up on that Anubis. Love your picture by the way.

    Yep! 19 year veteran and proud, my friend. I am enjoy the lake so far, thank you

    I love your Haiku~
    Thank you for your friendliness~
    Hope to see you soon~

    Thanks mate, its over now and I believe I am stronger now because of it. Thanks for being so friendly, loving my time on LV right now.

    Thanks Shadria

    Thanks Becca... so much to do on this site, can't decide right now. HAHA!

    Thanks Vigilance. Glad to be here and glad to meet a staff member, thanks for your time.

    Don't worry Eclipse, my trainers are clean so you don't have to worry about that, though I understand the pain of cleaning it up. I'll watch out for the cheese, thanks for the heads up.

    Glad to meet another veteran, Marine. Thanks for your time

    I'm so sorry to hear about your rough school life! But it seems like it made you a stronger person, so in a way it was a good learning experience and I'm sure you're a bit tougher now =) Welcome to LV Kenitoh, it is lovely to have such a big Pokémon fan around. <3

    Welcome from the US! I started back when Pokémon came to the West as well, so you're in good company. ^_^;

    Sorry you had to endure that as well. Middle school was hell for me too (though I'll admit, school-wise high-school got better though I did have to deal with divorce), and I'm glad you were able to get past that part of your life.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy everything that LV has to offer! :D
